Steampunk Tags

Hello!

Last week I was preparing all the materials I needed for my first classes ever, the Make & Take I've done this last Friday at La Tienda de las Manualidades in Dos Hermanas, Sevilla. I was nervous, making lists so I didn't forget anything... so I needed to relax creating something!! And these tags for my friends Silvia and Marta came out of my head.

For the background I used Stamperia paper and added texture paste with the clocks stencils. Then I worked on the main elements, metallic pieces from Mitform Castings and others. I used Finnabair patina effect pastes to add texture and base colors, and then I glued the pieces to the tags.

Once dry I used the same pastes and a rusty one to extend the effect on the tags. To get that impressive shine I used Lindy's Gang sprays and gave the final touches to these pieces with Finnabair waxes.

I added a little stamping and inked all the edges with dark colors, creating depth. I wanted an extra touch, so in one of the tags I put a paper clip on the side, and a small carabiner in the other. And why not make some extra holes and coil some metal thread??

To give the tags some light points, I added bulbs and pebbles in gold color and used metal thread to add volume and movement. For the final touches, I added micro beads and crystal glitter, and splattered metallic paint, just very few.
